It's not Only About Reading

The growth of information and technology has changed the human's pattern in doing their daily activities. A well-know tagline about "Budayakan Membaca" has not suitable anymore. Today, we have internet; YouTube, Podcast, more Forum Group Discussion, etc. At this era, any information we have/ want to know does not only came from a book.

Somehow, for me, internet is more reliable than books. I used to be like that. When I could not do my thesis, I find the answer from YouTube; see the steps. I don't use conventional books anymore. Even, I don't read. But, I watch, from YouTube. Internet, obviously has changed the way I find a new information.

Agree with Cania.

My point is, I think we can't blame anyone who's not interested at reading. Maybe, reading in this era is not a popular thing. People prefer watching to reading. The most important for me is, the way we gather more information. We can't find information only from reading anymore. We can watch a visual information from YouTube, listen to a Podcast, or participate in group discussion for any particular topics we like. Maybe, "Budayakan Membaca" is old-fashioned.

One day, a friend of mine asked me about writing a blog. I did not support him. Writing a blog is not popular now. Maybe, he should try YouTube. Watching is more popular than reading. Maybe, we should not questioned only about how much competencies people at reading anymore. The questioned should be beyond that. It should be about the way people at gathering new information. It is about the competencies of people for knowing their particular needs at using any platform/ media to get new information, it is the most important thing, for me.

Jumat, 9 Desember 2011 - Minggu, 11 Desember 2011 Pukul 14.30 seusai pulang sekolah hari Jumat - pukul 14.30 hari Minggu di Bandungan Acara tahunan dari DOC (salah satu subsie di SMAN 3 Semarang) adalah mengadakan retreat di luar lokasi sekolah kami. Biasanya acara tersebut diadakan di Bandungan. Pada tahun 2011 ini dan bersaman dengan pengalaman pertama saya mengikuti retreat bersama SMAN 3 Semarang, diadakan di Rumah Retreat Angela Patrick, Bandungan.

Awalnya saya dan Puguh teman saya belum tahu bila warga sekolah sudah diperbolehkan pulang, sehingga kami izin pada guru Bimbingan Konseling te

My Second Assignment

ANDIKA JATI NUGROHO 140608050 Peter Lind, Flavor Development Specialist Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream, Waterbury, Vermont Hello. See me again. My name is Andika Jati Nugroho. I’m from G class. I got my second assignment from my teacher, Mrs. Bening. This unit is about “The Most Wanted Jobs in The World”. Luckily, we will discuss about Peter Lind, a flavor development specialist in an ice cream company. Here it is. First. I want to tell you, that I was simply shocked and I am still confused about Mrs. Bening’s system at reading activities. In Senior High School, reading is just a simple thing. We just read. Commonly, the text was fictional. But, Mrs. Bening used another way. The text was based on true story. And, we had to use other sources to find the information of text and think critically at understanding the text. Let us start into the core. There is an ice cream company named Ben & Jerry’s Ice Cream in Vermont. It is located in North-East of United
